Digital Camera Description

The Canon Powershot G3 X is a Large Digital Camera with a 1" sensor. Its 20 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 125-12800 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 125-25600. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in very low-light. With 20 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to 23" x 15" at 240 DPI.

A builtin Image Stabilization mechanism allows the Canon Powershot G3 X to compensate for camera shake.

This camera features a mechanic shutter that can expose for 1/2000 to 30s. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/2000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.

The Canon Powershot G3 X features a 31-point Contrast-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. Manual Focus is also available.
